Marlin Reinhart had an opinion piece in The Morning Call the other day claiming that the Second Amendment no longer served a national purpose because the original state militias were transformed into the National Guard. But I noticed the one thing he forgot is that the state militias’ original purpose was in case our own government became too corrupt, the state militias of armed citizens were supposed to be a line of protection from the government-controlled military. |

"Unfortunately these days, thanks to the massively weakened Second Amendment, our state militias no longer have enough firepower to stand against our military if our current corrupt government* were to wrongfully declare martial law."
*But they do have enough firepower to go after them and their families.
Keeping them aware of that is in our best interest. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
